[Harp-L] Musicology spat

[Mike Holcomb <mholcomb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am on harp-l and also read alt.music.harmonica on occasion.

I always enjoy Pat Missin's posts in both forums because they contain
useful content and usually show evidence of thought before typing.

On alt.music.harmonica there is a gentleman who responds in much the same
way to Pat's posts, with unsavory references to the queen, limes, poor
dental hygiene, and other negative British stereotypes.

I have to confess, I don't understand the motivation behind these
vitriolic responses.  Pat, do you go around kicking people's dogs or
something?

Folks, remember, this is a forum for the free exchange of ideas.  That
means we can disagree with one another.  We shouldn't have to stoop to the
level of personal attack in order to do so.

OB harp content, somewhat related to music theory:

Can anyone recommend some ways to gracefully play through a #V chord in
2nd position?  I'm working on Stormy Monday and can't seem to find any
smooth flowing licks for this part of the chord progression.  A 36 or 69
octave works nice, and a 3 draw half step bend sounds good.  So does a
Sonny Boy Williamson II style 23 headshake (2- 3'-), but I'm looking for
something a little more melodic.  Suggestions?
